‘My daughter claimed she was abused’

Mother of the pupil said her daughter told her she was abused by Adenekan.

Mrs Oladapo said her daughter told her someone put his wiwi into her wiwi.

She said: “I asked her who the person was; my daughter then mentioned Mr Adenekan’s name saying he did it inside his office toilet. After my daughter explained everything to me, I got the teacher’s phone number from the school and called him. Initially, I did not want the issue to go out because of the stigma it would bring against my daughter in the school.

“Thereafter, I confronted the teacher not to threaten my daughter again and it was then he said I could go to anywhere to report.

“He said nobody would believe me, that even if I told the management of the school, they would not believe me.”

Mrs Oladapo said Adenekan should not be at the nursery section of the school, because he only supervises the primary section.

“I took my girl to the school clinic where the doctors there said that they could not ascertain whether the girl was abused or not. When I took my daughter to Mirabel Centre in Ikeja, it was revealed that she had been abused.”
